symbol. The scratchpad folder offers a convenient location to temporarily store the
contents of working memory when managing the V-Scanner memory.
Working with V-Scanner folders is much like working with computer application files,
such as spreadsheets and word processing documents. Any programming changes you
make to the scanner’s working memory can be saved to one of the ten V-Scanner folders,
or the scratchpad folder. When you save working memory to a V-Scanner folder, all
settings contained in working memory are saved, including channels, talkgroups, lockout
status, contrast settings, etc. Previously saved V-Scanner folders can be recalled and
loaded into working memory. You can also erase the contents of V-Scanner folders, or
move the contents of one folder to another using working memory. V-Scanner folder
names are stored in Line 4 from the Welcome screen that appears when you first power
on the scanner. You can change the contents of line 4 from the current working memory
configuration. This information is saved when you store the V-Scanner.
Follow these steps to edit the V-Scanner name stored in Line 4 of the Welcome screen:
1. Press PGM
2. Press FUNC TEXT. The scanner will display the Line 4 edit screen with a flashing
cursor:
3. Use standard text entry procedures to enter a V-Scanner name, up to 12 characters
long. Press ENTER when finished. Please refer to the Text Input Chart on Page 48
for more information on text entry.
